INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC
CENSUSES
The economic censuses are the major source of facts
about the structure and functioning of the Nation's econ-
omy. They provide essential information for government,
business, industry, and the general public.
Economic censuses furnish an important part of
the framework for such composite measures as the
gross national product, input-output measures, pro-
duction and price indexes, and other statistical series
that measure short-term changes in economic con-
ditions.
Policy-making agencies of the Federal Govern-
ment use the data, especially in monitoring economic
activity and providing assistance to business.
State and local governments use the data to
assess business activities and tax bases within their
jurisdictions and to develop programs to attract busi-
ness.
Special programs also cover enterprise statistics and
minority-owned and women-owned businesses. (The 1987
Census of Agriculture and 1987 Census of Governments
are conducted separately.) The next economic censuses
are scheduled to be taken in 1993 covering the year 1992.
AVAILABILITY OF THE DATA
The results of each of the economic censuses are
available in printed reports, for sale by the U.S. Govern-
ment Printing Office, and on microfiche, computer tape,
compact discs with read-only memory, and flexible dis-
kettes, for sale by the Census Bureau. Order forms for all
types of products are available on request from Customer
Services, Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233. A more
complete description of publications being issued from this
census is on the inside back cover of this document.
Census facts are also widely disseminated by trade
associations, business journals, and newspapers. Vol-
umes containing census statistics are available in most
major public and college libraries. Finally, State Data
Centers in every State and Business and Industry Data
Centers in many States also supply economic census
statistics.
Trade associations study trends in their own and
competing industries, and keep their members informed
of market changes.
Individual businesses use the data to locate poten-
tial markets and to analyze their own production and
sales performance relative to industry or area aver-
ages.
AUTHORITY AND SCOPE
Title 13 of the United States Code (sections 131, 191,
and 224) directs the Census Bureau to take the economic
censuses every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7.
The 1987 Economic Censuses consist of the —
Census of Retail Trade
Census of Wholesale Trade
Census of Service Industries
Census of Transportation
Census of Manufactures
Census of Mineral Industries
Census of Construction Industries
WHAT'S NEW IN 1987
Several changes have taken place for the 1987 cen-
suses. Data will be reported on the basis of the newly
revised Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system with
selected reports including "bridge tables," linking the old
and new classification systems. A new set of metropolitan
areas has been adopted, and more detailed information
will be available for businesses with no paid employees.
For additional information on these changes, review the
subsequent text.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The economic censuses have been taken together as
an integrated program at 5-year intervals since 1967, and
before that for 1 963, 1 958, and 1 954. Prior to that time, the
individual censuses were taken separately at varying inter-
vals.
The economic censuses trace their beginnings to the
1810 Decennial Census, when questions on manufactur-
ing were included with those for population. Coverage of
economic activities was expanded for 1840 and subse-
quent censuses to include mining and some commercial
RETAIL TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
INTRODUCTION III
activities. In 1902, Congress established a permanent
Census Bureau and directed that a census of manufac-
tures be taken every 5 years. The 1905 manufactures
census was the first time a census was taken apart from
the regular every-1 0-year population census.
The first census of business was taken in 1930, cover-
ing 1929. Initially it covered retail and wholesale trade, and
construction industries, but it was broadened in 1933 to
include some of the service trades.
The 1954 economic censuses were the first to be fully
integrated — providing comparable census data across eco-
nomic sectors, using consistent time periods, concepts,
definitions, classifications, and reporting units. These were
the first censuses to be taken by mail, using lists of firms
provided by the administrative records of other federal
agencies. Since 1963, administrative records have also
been used to provide basic statistics as well for very small
firms, reducing or eliminating the need to send them
census questionnaires. The Enterprise Statistics Program,
which publishes combined data from the economic cen-
suses, was made possible with the implementation of the
integrated census program in 1954.
The range of industries covered in the economic cen-
suses has continued to expand. The Census of Construc-
tion Industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the
scope of service industries was broadened in 1967, 1977,
and 1987. The Census of Transportation began in 1963 as
a set of surveys covering travel, transportation of commod-
ities, and trucks. New for 1987 are publications reporting
on business establishments engaged in several transpor-
tation industries, paralleling the data on establishments in
other sectors. This is part of a gradual expansion in
coverage of industries previously subjected to government
regulation. The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enter-
prises was first conducted as a special project in 1969 and
was incorporated into the economic censuses in 1972
along with the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses.
Economic censuses have also been taken in Puerto
Rico since 1909, in the Virgin Islands and Guam since
1958, and in the Northern Mariana Islands since 1982.
Statistical reports from the 1982 and earlier censuses
provide historical figures for the study of long-term time
series, and are available in some large libraries. All of the
census data published since 1967 are still available for
sale on microfiche from the Census Bureau.
AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT
ECONOMIC DATA
While the censuses provide complete enumerations
every 5 years, there are many needs for more frequent
data as well. The Census Bureau conducts a number of
monthly, quarterly, and annual surveys, the results of
which appear in publication series such as Current Busi-
ness Reports (retail and wholesale trade and service
industries), the Annual Survey of Manufactures, Current
Industrial Reports, and the Quarterly Financial Report.
Most of these surveys, while providing more frequent
observations, yield less kind-of-business and geographic
detail than the censuses. The County Business Patterns
program offers annual statistics on the number of estab-
lishments, employment, and payroll classified by industry
within each county.
SOURCES FOR MORE INFORMATION
More information about the scope, coverage, classifica-
tion system, data items, and publications for each of the
economic censuses and related surveys is published in the
Guide to the 1987 Economic Censuses and Related
Statistics. More information on the methodology, proce-
dures, and history of the censuses will be published in the
History of the 1987 Economic Censuses. Contact Cus-
tomer Services for information on availability.
CENSUS OF RETAIL TRADE
The 1987 Census of Retail Trade, part of the 1987
Economic Censuses, covered retail trade as defined in the
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual.1 It included
all establishments primarily engaged in selling merchan-
dise for personal or household consumption and rendering
services incidental to the sale of the goods. The census
excluded governmental organizations classified in the
covered industries except for liquor stores operated by
State and local governments. Data for direct sellers (SIC
5963) with no paid employees and post exchanges, ship
stores, and similar establishments operated on military
posts by agencies of the Federal Government are not
included. The basic tabulations in this report do not include
data for establishments which are auxiliary (primary func-
tion is providing a service, such as warehouses) to retail
establishments within the same organization. Data for
auxiliaries are presented in a subsequent report issued as
part of the 1987 Enterprise Statistics reports.
For the 1 987 Census of Retail Trade, large- and medium-
size firms, plus all firms known to operate more than one
establishment, were sent questionnaires to be completed
and returned to the Census Bureau by mail. For most very
small firms, including those with no paid employees, data
from existing administrative records of other Federal agen-
cies were used instead. These records provided basic
information on location, kind of business, sales, payroll,
number of employees, and legal form of organization. In
addition, more detailed information for selected kinds of
business was obtained on the various questionnaires.
Appendix A gives a more detailed explanation of census
coverage and methodology.

RETAIL TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
number of establishments in a kind-of-business classifica-
tion is not considered a disclosure, so this information may
be released even though other information is withheld.
GEOGRAPHIC AREAS COVERED
This report series presents data for the following areas:
1. The United States as a whole.
2. Each State and the District of Columbia.
3. Each consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA)
and primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA)
defined by the Office of Management and Budget
as of June 30, 1987. A CMSA is an area used to
facilitate the presentation and analysis of data for
large concentrations of metropolitan populations. It
includes two or more contiguous PMSA's which
have a population of at least 1,000,0002 and which
meet specific criteria of urban character and of
social and economic integration.
4. Each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) defined by
the Office of Management and Budget as of June
30, 1987. An MSA is an integrated economic and
social unit with a population nucleus of at least
50,000 inhabitants.2 Each MSA consists of one or
more counties meeting standards of metropolitan
character; in New England, cities and towns rather
than counties are the component geographic units.
5. The area within the State outside metropolitan
statistical areas.
6. Each county or county equivalent.3 4
7. Each municipality of 2,500 inhabitants or more
incorporated as a city, borough, village, or
town.2 3 For the economic censuses, census areas
and boroughs in Alaska, boroughs in New York, and
towns in New York and Wisconsin are not included
in this category.
8. Special economic urban areas (SEUA's), which
include townships in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
and towns in New England with 10,000 inhabitants
or more.2
DOLLAR VALUES
All dollar values presented in this report are expressed
in current dollars, i.e., 1987 data are expressed in 1987
dollars and 1982 data in 1982 dollars. Consequently, when
making comparisons to prior years, users of the data
should consider the inflation that has occurred.

RELIABILITY OF DATA
All data compiled in this report originated from either
census questionnaires or administrative records of other
Federal agencies and, therefore, are not subject to sam-
pling errors. However, the data are subject to nonsampling
errors. Nonsampling errors can be attributed to many
sources: inability to identify all cases in the actual universe;
definition and classification difficulties; differences in the
interpretation of questions; errors in recording or coding
the data obtained; and other errors of collection, re-
sponse, coverage, and estimation for missing or misre-
ported data.
The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by
the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. No
direct measurement of these effects has been obtained
except for estimation for missing or misreported data;
however, precautionary steps were taken in all phases of
the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an
effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.
The Bureau of the Census obtains on computer tape
limited information extracted from administrative records
of other Federal agencies. This information is used in
conjunction with other information available to the Census
Bureau to develop estimates for nonemployers, small
employers, and other establishments for which responses
were not received in time for publication. For an indication
of the extent that data included in these reports were
obtained from the administrative records of other Federal
agencies and from estimation, rather than reports directly
from respondents, see appendix E. Also, see appendix A
for a more detailed explanation of census coverage and
methodology.
SPECIAL TABULATIONS
Special tabulations of data collected in the 1 987 Census
of Retail Trade may be obtained, depending on availability
of time and personnel, on diskette, computer tape, or in
tabular form. The data will be in summary form and subject
to the same rules prohibiting disclosure of confidential
information (including name, address, kind of business, or
other data for individual business establishments or com-
panies) as are the regular publications.
Special tabulations are prepared on a cost basis. A
request for a cost estimate, as well as exact specifications
on the type and format of the data to be provided, should
be directed to the Chief, Business Division, Bureau of the
Census, Washington, DC 20233.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Data from the 1987 Census of Retail Trade show that
Maine's 9,204 retail stores with payroll had sales totaling
$8.7 billion. In 1982, 8,156 stores had sales of $5.2 billion.
For establishments with payroll in 1 987, sales of grocery
stores accounted for 1 9.9 percent of the State's total sales
by retailers compared to 23.6 percent in 1982. Other
leading retail kinds of business in 1987 were new car
dealers with 18.0 percent of sales, department stores
(including leased departments) with 7.0 percent, gasoline
service stations with 6.4 percent, and lumber and other
building materials dealers with 5.1 percent.
For 1987, sales for establishments with payroll in the
State averaged $940 thousand per establishment, com-
pared to $633 thousand in 1982. In 1987, department
stores (including leased departments) averaged $9.4 mil-
lion per establishment; new car dealers, $7.3 million;
lumber and other building materials dealers, $2.1 million;
grocery stores, $1.5 million; and fuel oil dealers, $1.5
million.
For retail establishments with payroll, 1987 sales per
employee averaged $94 thousand. New car dealers had
sales per employee of $281 thousand, which contrasts
sharply with the $24 thousand per employee average for
cafeterias.
The 1987 payroll of retailers in the State amounted to
$959 million, compared to $551 million for 1982. Payroll as
a percent of sales of establishments with payroll averaged
11.1 percent for all retailers, 33.4 percent for cafeterias,
and 6.5 percent for used car dealers.
There were 91,991 paid employees (full- and part-time)
engaged in retail trade in the State as of mid-March 1987,
compared to 67,546 employees in 1982. Grocery stores
were the largest employers with 15,935 employees; fol-
lowed by restaurants and lunchrooms, 15,426 employees;
and refreshment places, 8,927.
Cumberland County led the counties in the State, account-
ing for 30.5 percent of total sales by retailers. Bangor had
the largest sales among all places in the State, with 7.2
percent of the State total.

RETAIL TRADE-GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
APPENDIX A.
General Explanation
CENSUS COVERAGE AND METHODOLOGY
Structure and method of enumeration— Firms in the
1987 Census of Retail Trade were divided into the nonmail
universe and mail universe. The coverage and the method
of obtaining census information from each follow:
1. The nonmail universe consists of firms which were
not required to file a regular census return and
includes:
a. All nonemployers, i.e., all firms with no paid
employment during 1987. Sales information for
them was obtained from administrative records
of other Federal agencies. Although consisting
of a large number of firms, nonemployers account
for less than 3 percent of total retail sales. Data
on nonemployers are provided in subsequent
1987 Census of Retail Trade reports, Nonem-
ployer Statistics, RC87-N, and Selected Statis-
tics, RC87-SP-1.
The census included only those retail non-
employer firms which reported a sales volume
of $1,000 or more during 1987 plus firms in
operation for less than the full year that reported
sales which, if projected to an annual basis,
would have reached a total of $1 ,000 or more.
b. Selected small employers, i.e., single-establishment
firms with payroll below a specified cutoff. (The
term "employers" refers to all business firms
with paid employees at any time during 1987 as
shown in the active administrative records of
other Federal agencies.) Although the payroll
cutoff varied by kind of business, small employ-
ers generally included firms with one to three
employees and represented about 10 percent
of total retail sales.
Data on sales, payroll, and employment for
employer firms below the cutoff were derived or
estimated from the administrative records of
other Federal agencies, except for a 10-percent
sample which was included in the mail universe.
2. The mail universe consists of firms for which infor-
mation was obtained basically by means of a mail
canvass and includes:
a. Large employers, i.e., all employer firms above
the payroll size cutoff establishment to separate
large from small employers. Within this cate-
gory, a report of company organization is con-
ducted periodically to identify firms which oper-
ated establishments at more than one location
and to obtain information on payroll and mid-
March employment at each location. The 1986
Report of Company Organization was used as a
coverage check in the census. In the census
mailing package containing the appropriate 1 987
questionnaires, firms were sent a form to use in
updating the list of establishments with those
opened since 1986.
b. The 1 0-percent sample of small employers referred
to in section 1b above which were sent the
census mailing packages containing the appro-
priate 1987 questionnaires.
Method of classifying kinds of business— The retail
trade classifications for all establishments were based on
the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual.1 How-
ever, the method of assigning these classifications, and
the level of detail at which establishmonts were classified,
differed between the nonmail and mail universe as follows:
1 . The nonmail universe.
a. All nonemployers were classified inside or out-
side of retail trade on the basis of information
obtained from other Federal agencies.
b. Selected small employers were classified on
the basis of the most current census kind-
of-business classification available from one of
the Bureau's current sample surveys or the
1 982 census. Otherwise, the classification was
obtained from the administrative records of
other Federal agencies.
If the census or administrative record classi-
fications proved inadequate (none corresponded
to a census classification in the detail required
for employers), the firm was sent a brief inquiry
requesting information necessary to assign a
1987 census kind-of-business code.
2. Establishments in the mail universe were classified
on the basis of their self designation and answers to
questions on sales by merchandise lines and other
special inquiries.
COMPARABILITY OF THE 1982 AND 1987
CENSUSES
The 1982 and 1987 censuses were conducted under
similar conditions and procedures except for the following:

RETAIL TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
APPENDIX A A-1
Classifications — In 1982, classifications were based
on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Man-
ual and its 1977 Supplement. For 1987, classifications are
based on the 1987 SIC Manual. There are major revisions
to the SIC structure for 1987 which limit the comparability
of data between the 1982 and 1987 censuses. The kinds
of business involving the most significant changes for retail
trade are within SIC major groups 53 and 57. These
changes are described in detail in the "Kind-of-Business
Classifications" section below and in appendix H.
It was not possible to retabulate 1 982 data based on the
revised 1987 classifications for comparative purposes
since, in many cases, the necessary information was not
available for assigning the new 1987 classifications to the
1 982 records. However, 1 987 census records were assigned
both a 1987 and 1982 census classification. Census data
for 1987 are presented based on the 1987 classifications
for all geographic areas included in this publication (see
"Geographic Areas Covered" in the Introduction). In addi-
tion, data for the United States and each State are
presented for both 1987 and 1982 based on the 1972
classifications in table 3 of this publication.2
Geographic areas — The boundaries of a number of
areas for which data are shown in the 1 987 census are not
the same as in the 1982 census because df annexations;
other boundary changes; and redefinitions of previously
defined standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's)
and standard consolidated statistical areas (SCSA's) into
metropolitan statistical areas (MSA's), primary metropoli-
tan statistical areas (PMSA's), and consolidated metropoli-
tan statistical areas (CMSA's).3
Nonemployer firms— In 1982, data for nonemployers
and the combined data for all establishments were pre-
sented only at the retail total level for all geographic areas
except the United States, for which these data were pub-
lished by kind of business. For 1987, data presented in this
publication do not include nonemployer establishments.
Consequently, data in this report are included only for
establishments with payroll. Data for nonemployers by kind
of business for the United States are presented in the 1 987
2To improve comparability between 1982 and 1987 statistics, 1982
data were slightly adjusted to reflect organizational changes affecting
some industries. Accordingly, statistics presented for 1982 vary slightly
from those previously published.
3Newly defined metropolitan statistical areas (MSA's) and also certain
terminology changes were announced by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) effective June 30, 1983. The previous term "standard
metropolitan statistical area" was shortened to metropolitan statistical
area. If an area has more than 1 million population and meets certain
other specified requirements, it now is termed a "consolidated metropol-
itan statistical area" (CMSA) and consists of major components recog-
nized as "primary metropolitan statistical areas" (PMSA's). Many of these
PMSA's were formerly recognized as SMSA's and the majority were also
included in standard consolidated statistical areas defined by OMB
beginning in 1975, each of which consisted of two or more closely
associated SMSA's. Metropolitan areas not included in CMSA's are
designated simply as metropolitan statistical areas (MSA's).

SP-1 and for States, metropolitan statistical areas, coun-
ties, and places with 2,500 inhabitants or more in the Retail
Trade reports of the Nonemployer Statistics Series, RC87-
N-1 to -4. See appendix A of the Nonemployer Statistics
Series reports for a description of improvements in data
collection and processing of nonemployer records for the
1987 Economic Censuses.
Establishments — In 1 982 and prior censuses, the count
of establishments (defined below) represented the number
in business at the end of the year. For 1987, the count of
establishments in this publication represents those in
business at any time during 1987.
A comparison of the number of establishments in busi-
ness at the end of the year versus the number active any
time during the year for the State as a whole is presented
in appendix G.2
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
Establishments — An establishment is a single physical
location at which business is conducted. It is not neces-
sarily identical with a company or enterprise, which may
consist of one establishment or more. Census of retail
trade figures represent a summary of reports for individual
establishments rather than companies. For cases where a
census report was received, separate information was
obtained for each location where business was conducted.
When administrative records of other Federal agencies
were used instead of a census report, no information was
available on the number of locations operated. Estimates
of this number were derived from a sample and will be
provided in the retail trade report, Miscellaneous Subjects
(RC87-S-4). Each retail establishment was tabulated accord-
ing to the physical location at which the business was
conducted.
When two activities or more were carried on at a single
location under a single ownership, all activities generally
were grouped together as a single establishment. The
entire establishment was classified on the basis of its
major activity and all data for it were included in that
classification. However, when distinct and separate eco-
nomic activities (for which different industry classification
codes were appropriate) were conducted under the same
ownership at a single location, and when conditions pre-
scribed by the SIC manual for recognizing the existence of
more than one establishment were met, separate estab-
lishment reports for each of the different activities were
obtained in the census.
Leased departments are treated as separate establish-
ments and are classified according to the kind of business
they conduct. For example, a leased department selling
shoes within a department store would be considered a
separate retail establishment under the "shoe store" clas-
sification.
Firms— A firm is a business organization or entity
consisting of one domestic establishment (location) or
more under common ownership or control. All establish-
ments of subsidiary firms are included as part of the
owning or controlling firm. For the economic censuses, the
terms "firm" and "company" are synonymous.
A-2 APPENDIX A
RETAIL TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
Sales — Sales include merchandise sold for cash or
credit at retail and wholesale by establishments primarily
engaged in retail trade; amounts received from customers
for layaway purchases; receipts from rental or leasing of
vehicles, equipment, instruments, tools, etc.; receipts for
delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, alteration, stor-
age, and other services; the total value of service con-
tracts; and gasoline, liquor, tobacco, and other excise
taxes which are paid by the manufacturer or wholesaler
and passed on to the retailer.
Sales are net after deductions for refunds and allow-
ances for merchandise returned by customers. Trade-in
allowances are not deducted from total sales. Total sales
do not include carrying or other credit charges; sales (or
other) taxes collected from customers and forwarded to
taxing authorities; commissions from vending machine
operators; sales and receipts of departments or conces-
sions operated by other firms; commissions or receipts
from the sale of government lottery tickets; installment
payments from leasing of vehicles, equipment, instru-
ments, tools, etc. marketed under capital, finance, or full
payout leases; and nonoperating income from such sources
as investments, rental or sale of real estate, etc.
Sales in this report do not include retail sales made by
manufacturers, wholesalers, service establishments, or
other businesses whose primary activity is other than retail
trade. They do include receipts other than from the sale of
merchandise at retail, e.g., service receipts, sales to indus-
trial users, and sales to other retailers, by establishments
primarily engaged in retail trade.
Annual payroll— Payroll includes all forms of compen-
sation such as salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses,
vacation allowances, sick-leave pay, and the value of
payments in kind (e.g., free meals and lodgings) paid
during the year to all employees. Tips and gratuities
received by employees from patrons and reported to
employers are included. For corporations, it includes amounts
paid to officers and executives; for unincorporated busi-
nesses, it does not include profit or other compensation of
proprietors or partners. Payroll is reported before deduc-
tions for social security, income tax, insurance, union dues,
etc. This definition of payroll is the same as that used by
the IRS on form 941.
First quarter payroll— This item consists of payroll, as
defined above, paid to persons employed at any time
during the quarter January to March 1987.
Paid employees for pay period including March
12— Paid employees consist of the full-time and part-time
employees, including salaried officers and executives of
corporations, who were on the payroll in the pay period in-
cluding March 12. Included are employees on paid sick
leave, paid holidays, and paid vacations; not included are
proprietors and partners of unincorporated businesses.
The definition of paid employees is the same as that used
on IRS form 941.
Legal form of organization — The legal form of organ-
ization for firms in the mail universe was based on the
response to the organizational status inquiry on the various
census forms. The legal form of organization of nonmail
firms was generally based on information available from
the administrative records of other Federal agencies.
This report presents data by the following legal forms of
organization:
1. Corporations (including corporate cooperatives).
2. Individual proprietorships.
3. Partnerships.
4. Other types.
Auxiliary establishments — Each company included in
this census was asked to identify and report separately
those auxiliary locations whose primary functions were to
manage, administer, service, or support the activities of the
other establishments of the company. Data presented in
this report do not include auxiliary establishments. Data for
auxiliaries which primarily service retail establishments are
presented in a subsequent report issued as part of the
1 987 Enterprise Statistics reports.
KIND-OF-BUSINESS CLASSIFICATIONS
Retail trade, major groups 52 through 59 in the 1 987 SIC
manual, includes establishments engaged in selling mer-
chandise for personal or household consumption and in
rendering services incidental to the sale of the goods.
Exceptions to this general rule are lumber yards; paint,
glass, and wallpaper stores; typewriter stores; stationery
stores; and gasoline service stations, which sell to both the
general public for personal and household consumption
and to businesses. These types of stores are included in
retail trade even if a higher proportion of their sales is
made to other than individuals for personal or household
consumption. However, such establishments that sell their
products only to institutional or industrial users and to other
wholesalers and establishments that sell similar merchan-
dise for use exclusively by business establishments are
classified in wholesale trade.
Other important characteristics of retail trade establish-
ments are that they are usually places of business; they
are engaged in activities to attract the general public to
buy; they buy or receive as well as sell merchandise; they
may process their products, although processing is inci-
dental or subordinate to selling; and they are considered
as retail in the trade. Not all of these characteristics need
be present and some are modified by trade practice.
Establishments covered by the census were assigned
kind-of-business classifications according to the industry
classifications defined in the 1987 SIC manual. When a
more detailed classification was needed than that defined
in the SIC manual, more kinds of business were identified
within a SIC.
RETAIL TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
APPENDIX A A-3
In general, retail establishments were classified accord-
ing to the principal lines of commodities sold (groceries,
hardware, etc.), or the usual trade designation (drug store,
cigar store, etc.).
Kind-of-business classifications are not interchangeable
with commodity classifications; most businesses sell sev-
eral kinds of commodities. The kind-of-business code
generally reflects either the individual commodity or the
commodity group which is the primary source of the
establishment's business. Thus, the classification of estab-
lishments by kind of business generally does not make it
possible to determine either the number of establishments
handling a particular commodity or the sales of that
commodity. For example, the food stores classification
excludes stores selling food if the sale of food is not the
primary source of receipts; moreover, even though stores
are classified as food stores, some of their receipts may be
derived from the sale of nonfood products. (Information on
the extent to which various broad groups of commodities,
or merchandise lines, are sold by different kinds of busi-
ness is available in the 1 987 Census of Retail Trade report,
Merchandise Line Sales, RC87-S-3.)
Building Materials and Garden Supplies Stores
(SIC Major Group 52)
This major group includes retail establishments primarily
engaged in selling lumber and other building materials;
paint, glass, and wallpaper; hardware; nursery stock; lawn
and garden supplies; and mobile homes. It includes lumber
and other building materials dealers and paint, glass, and
wallpaper stores selling to the general public, even if sales
to contractors account for a larger proportion of total sales;
these establishments are known as retail in the trade.
Establishments primarily selling these products but not
selling to the general public are classified in wholesale
trade.
Lumber and other building materials dealers
(SIC 521) — Establishments primarily engaged in selling
lumber, or lumber and a general line of building materials,
to the general public. While these establishments may also
sell to contractors, they are known as retail in the trade,
even if sales to contractors account for a higher proportion
of the sales. The lumber they sell may include rough and
dressed lumber, flooring, molding, doors, sashes, frames,
and other millwork. The building materials may include
roofing, siding, shingles, wallboard, paint, brick, tile, cement,
sand, gravel, and other building materials and supplies.
Hardware is often an important line of retail lumber and
building materials dealers. Establishments not selling to
the general public or known in the trade as wholesale are
classified in SIC 503.
Paint, glass, and wallpaper stores (SIC 523)—
Establishments primarily engaged in selling paint, glass,
and wallpaper, or any combination of these lines, to the
general public. While these establishments may also sell to
contractors, they are known as retail in the trade, even if
sales to contractors account for a higher proportion of the
sales. Establishments which do not sell to the general
public are classified in wholesale trade.
Hardware stores (SIC 525)— Establishments primarily
selling a number of basic hardware lines, such as tools,
builders' hardware, paint and glass, housewares and house-
hold appliances, cutlery, and roofing materials, no one of
which accounts for 50 percent or more of the sales of the
establishments.
Retail nurseries, lawn and garden supply stores
(SIC 526) — Establishments primarily engaged in selling
trees, shrubs, other plants, seeds, bulbs, mulches, soil
conditioners, fertilizers, pesticides, garden tools, and other
garden supplies to the general public. These establish-
ments primarily sell products purchased from others, but
may sell some plants which they grow themselves. Estab-
lishments primarily engaged in growing trees, shrubs, other
plants, seeds, and bulbs are classified in SIC major group
01 , and those growing Christmas trees are classified in SIC
major group 08.
Mobile home dealers (SIC 527)— Establishments pri-
marily engaged in the retail sales of new and used mobile
homes, parts and equipment. Establishments primarily
selling travel trailers and campers are classified in SIC
5561.
General Merchandise Stores
(SIC Major Group 53)
This major group includes retail stores which sell a
number of lines of merchandise, such as dry goods,
apparel and accessories, furniture and homefurnishings,
small wares, hardware, and food. The stores included in
this group are known as department stores, variety stores,
general merchandise stores, and general stores. Establish-
ments primarily engaged in selling used general merchan-
dise are classified in SIC 593, and those selling general
merchandise by mail, vending machine, or direct selling
are classified in SIC 596. Establishments having 25 to 49
employees and selling merchandise lines covered in the
definition for department stores, previously classified in
SIC 531 in prior censuses, are classified in SIC 539 in the
1987 Census.
Department stores (SIC 531)— Retail stores normally
having 50 employees or more, having sales of apparel and
soft goods combined amounting to 20 percent or more of
total sales, and selling each of the three following groups
of merchandise:
1. Furniture, homefurnishings, appliances, and radio
and TV sets.
2. A general line of apparel for the family.
3. Household linens and dry goods.
A-4 APPENDIX A
RETAIL TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
The employment and lines of merchandise sold in
leased departments are both taken into account when
classifying a department store.
To qualify as a department store, sales of each of the
lines listed above must be less than 80 percent of total
store sales. An establishment with total sales of $10 million
or more is classified as a department store even if sales of
one of the merchandise lines listed above exceed the
maximum percent of total sales, provided that the com-
bined sales of the other two groups are $1 million or more.
Relatively few stores are included in this classification as a
result of this special rule and most of those which are
would otherwise have been classified in the apparel group
(SIC major group 56).
Due to the relatively high level of leased department
activity in department stores, department store sales have
been separately presented for the following classifications:
Department stores (incl. leased depts.)
Department stores (excl. leased depts.)
For States and for areas with 10,000 retail establish-
ments or more, the following subcategories of department
stores (excl. leased depts.) also are presented:
Conventional department stores (SIC 531 pt.)—
Establishments which satisfy the criteria of a department
store (see above) and:
1. Usually provide check-out service and customer
assistance (sales persons) within each department.
2. May have a catalog order service.
3. Are not affiliated with a company which operates
similar establishments on a national basis.
These stores often sell:
1. Soft goods and hard goods which are primarily
nationally advertised brands.
2. Appliances which are serviced by another com-
pany.
3. Limited lines of merchandise through seasonal or
special catalogs.
Discount or mass merchandising department stores
(SIC 531 pt.)— Establishments which satisfy the criteria of
a department store (see above) and usually:
1. Convey the image of a high-volume, fast turnover
outlet selling a variety of merchandise for less than
conventional prices.
2. Provide centralized check-out service.
3. Do not provide customer assistance within store
departments. Merchandise is normally sold through
self-service with minimal assistance provided in any
department.
4. Do not have a catalog order service.
These stores often sell:
1. Soft goods which are usually their own corporate
brands or are unbranded.
2. Hard goods which are primarily nationally adver-
tised brands.
3. Appliances which are serviced by another com-
pany.
National chain department stores (SIC 531 pt.)—
Establishments which satisfy the criteria of a department
store (see above) and:
1. Usually provide check-out service and customer
assistance (sales persons) within each department.
2. Usually have a catalog order service.
3. Are affiliated with a company which operates similar
establishments on a national basis.
These stores often sell:
1. Soft goods and hard goods which are their own
corporate brands or are unbranded.
2. Appliances which are serviced by their own com-
pany.
Variety stores (SIC 533)— Establishments primarily
engaged in the retail sale of a variety of merchandise in the
low and popular price ranges. Sales usually are made on a
cash-and-carry basis, with the open selling method of
display and customer selection of merchandise. These
stores generally do not carry a complete line of merchan-
dise, are not departmentalized, do not carry their own
charge service, and do not deliver merchandise.
Miscellaneous general merchandise stores
(SIC 539) — Establishments primarily engaged in the retail
sale of a general line of apparel, dry goods, hardware,
homewares or homefurnishings, groceries, and other lines
in limited amounts. Stores selling commodities covered in
the definition for department stores but normally having
less than 50 employees, and stores usually known as
country or general stores are included here. Also included
are most catalog showrooms and establishments whose
sales of apparel or furniture and homefurnishings exceed
half of their total sales, providing that sales of the smaller
of the two lines in combination with dry goods and house-
hold linens account for 20 percent or more of total sales.
Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sales of their
merchandise by catalog, mail, or television order are
classified in SIC 5961.
Food Stores
(SIC Major Group 54)
This major group includes retail stores primarily engaged
in selling food for home preparation and consumption.
Establishments primarily engaged in selling prepared foods
and drinks for consumption on the premises are classified
in major group 58, and stores primarily engaged in selling
packaged beers and liquors are classified in SIC 5921.
RETAIL TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES
APPENDIX A A-5
Grocery stores (SIC 541) — Establishments primarily
selling (1 ) a wide variety of canned or frozen foods such as
vegetables, fruits, and soups; (2) packaged or bulk dry
groceries, such as tea, coffee, cocoa, dried fruits, spices,
sugar, flour, and crackers, and (3) other processed foods
and nonedible grocery items. These establishments often
also sell smoked and prepared meats, fresh fish and
poultry, fresh vegetables and fruits, and fresh or frozen
meats. Establishments commonly known as supermarkets
and convenience food stores are included if receipts from
sales of groceries and food items for off-premise prepara-
tion and consumption are 50 percent or more of total sales.
Meat and fish (seafood) markets (SIC 542)—
Establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale of fresh,
frozen or cured meats, fish, shellfish, and other seafoods.
They may also sell poultry, dairy products, eggs, and other
commodities. Meat markets may butcher animals on their
own account, or they may buy from others. This industry
includes freezer and locker meat provisioners. Food locker
plants primarily engaged in renting locker space for the
storage of food products for individual households are
classified in industry 4222. Establishments primarily engaged
in the retail sale of food via frozen food plans delivered to
households or individuals are classified in SIC 5963.
Fruit and vegetable markets (SIC 543) — Establishments
primarily selling fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. They
frequently also carry a limited line of grocery items. They
are frequently found in public or municipal markets, or
roadside stands. However, roadside stands of farmers
selling only their own produce are classified in SIC major
group 01.
Candy, nut, and confectionery stores (SIC 544)—
Establishments primarily selling candy, nuts, and other
confections.
Dairy products stores (SIC 545)— Establishments pri-
marily engaged in the retail sale of packaged dairy prod-
ucts such as milk, cream, butter, cheese, and related
products to over-the-counter customers. Ice cream and
frozen custard stands are classified in SIC 5812 and
establishments selling ice cream and similar products from
trucks or wagons are classified in SIC 5963. Establish-
ments primarily engaged in processing and distributing
milk and cream are classified in SIC 2026.
Retail bakeries (SIC 546)— Establishments primarily
engaged in the retail sale of bakery products. The products
may be purchased from others or made on the premises.
Establishments manufacturing bakery products for the
trade are classified in SIC 2051 and those purchasing

classified in SIC 5963.
Miscellaneous food stores (SIC 549)— Establishments
primarily engaged in the retail sale of specialized foods,
not elsewhere classified, such as eggs, poultry, health
foods, vitamin foods, spices, herbs, coffee, and tea. The
poultry stores may sell live poultry, slaughter and clean
poultry for their own account and sell dressed fowls, or sell
fowls cleaned and dressed by others.
Automotive Dealers and Gasoline
Service Stations
(SIC Major Group 55)
This major group includes retail dealers selling new and
used automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles and utility
trailers, and motorcycles and mopeds; dealers selling new
automobile parts and accessories; and gasoline service
stations selling gasoline and lubricating oils. Automobile
repair shops maintained by establishments engaged in the
sale of new automobiles also are included.
Utility trailer dealers, previously classified in SIC 556 in
prior censuses, are classified in SIC 559 in the 1987
census.
New car dealers (SIC 551) — Establishments primarily
engaged in the sale of new automobiles or new and used
automobiles. These establishments have a franchise for
the sale of new domestic and/or new imported automo-
biles. They frequently maintain repair departments and
carry stocks of replacement parts, tires, batteries, and
automotive accessories. These establishments also fre-
quently sell pickups and vans at retail.
Used car dealers (SIC 552)— Establishments primarily
selling used cars and not holding a franchise for the sale of
new passenger cars. These establishments also frequently
sell used pickups and vans at retail.
